GLAMOUR model Imogen Thomas yesterday threatened to take out her own legal action after claiming a newly-published photo of her was “hacked” from her e-mail account.

The former Miss Wales, who for weeks has been at the centre of a High Court super-injunction following an alleged affair with footballer Ryan Giggs, said she was “furious” when she found out a photo of her in a signed Manchester United shirt was printed in a tabloid newspaper. It is thought a friend of the ex-Big Brother contestant may be behind the leak.

Imogen, 28, from Llanelli, vented her anger on Twitter after The Sun ran the story alongside another piece featuring an interview with her father.

The former Big Brother beauty, who on Friday night appeared on ITV’s Britain’s Got More Talent, then added: “Can’t believe someone has hacked into my Hotmail account and stole a photo of me which is in today’s Sun paper. I am livid. I’m taking further action.”

The newspaper reported the snap had been taken by Imogen’s mum after she had been given the shirt as a gift along with some match tickets.

Her publicist, Max Clifford, told Wales on Sunday Imogen was “obviously upset” by the emergence of the image in the national press.

The PR guru said: “She’s told me it was a picture that her mum took and she has no idea where it has come from. It’s nothing to do with her and it’s a complete surprise. It should never have come out and she’s obviously upset about it.”

Yet Mr Clifford played down the possibility of any legal action.

He added: “It’s nothing major to report on really, it’s just a surprise that it’s happened. What she’s said to me is that it could have come from one of her girlfriends but she doesn’t really know who is responsible.”

Yesterday Imogen’s dad, former rugby player Charles Thomas, was reported in several national newspapers voicing his own anger over the whole super-injunction controversy.

The media was able to print Giggs’s name in connection with the story only after Liberal Democrat MP John Hemming used parliamentary privilege to reveal it was the 37-year-old former Wales international who was the Premier League player who took out the injunction over his alleged relationship with reality TV star Imogen.
